Android Studio won't build suddenly: Program type already present: com.google.android.gms.internal.auth.zzao

Question

My project ran fine yesterday. I open it today and get this error:

Program type already present: com.google.android.gms.internal.auth.zzao

I tried updating the firebase libraries and then I get these errors and clicking install doesn't work:

I tried updating the target and compile sdk to 28 and get an error for all of the support libraries being lower than target sdk but don't get an option to update them to the latest. I tried updating build tools to 28.0.2 and that also didn't help, and it weirdly doesn't prompt me that it is behind, I had to manually go look at the latest installed and put it. Not sure what to try next. Nothing changed and it just stopped working. Below are my gradle files. Thanks.

Update the firebase libraries:

    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.1'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.3.0'

and in the top level gradle file, add the google() at the beginning under repositories:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
 repositories {
     google()
     jcenter()
     maven { url "https://storage.googleapis.com/snap-kit-build/maven" }

  }
 dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.4'
    classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-plugins:1.0.4'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.1'
   }
}

allprojects {
   repositories {
     google()
     jcenter()
     maven { url "https://storage.googleapis.com/snap-kit-build/maven" }
  }
}

 task clean(type: Delete) {
  delete rootProject.buildDir
 }
